Get this in America.
One unruly passenger should not have the power to control 300 other flyers' plans.
They should outfit planes with brigs.
They could cure a lot of it, if they stopped serving alcohol in the terminals or on the plane.
They'll never do that. Drug dealing is too lucrative and alcohol is the western world's favorite poison.
Sin pays.
As a person who likes to drink a beer to take the edge off, meh.
You don't need alcohol or drugs to be a disruptive asshole.
But it makes it easier. It's like a cheat code for dickhead, and bonuses stack with maga hat, tobacco of any kind, dodge ram keys or any clothing without sleeves.
typo was actually cure
Alcohol is the only way to survive the terribleness that is air travel, until such a time that weed vending machines become available in airports, or air travel becomes less shitty. The latter will never happen. Former inside of a decade.
...is it?
This only works for shorter flights, but you can eat an edible before you go into the airport. I reccomend one that you've tried before the flight so you know how high you'll get and how long it'll last.
Sadly, Edibles aren't legal all around the world.
We aren't there yet.
It's pretty much a ritual of mine to be and stay hammered most of my travel day.
Chug most of a half pint of liquor in the parking garage, double of Johnnie Walker Black for pretty much every hour I'm in the airport, order some mini bottles (or carry on my own) on the plane, sleep until my destination, and then do whatever it is I'm doing that day.
But then, I handle my alcohol extremely well (and have the red hair gene that makes you less susceptible to its effect and process it more quickly). So I don't really get in trouble.
Shit. That's my wife's secret weapon. I'm only a half ('stealth') ginger, but she's - how do I say this? - full-on ginger. Green eyes, gorgeous flamin' hair, and now probably this.
Scotch-in-your-3-1-1-bottles team, unite!
But then how would I get my breakfast beer? Only at an airport do you get the plausibility of being accustomed to a different time zone.
In all seriousness though, this is the classic "blame the person or the tool" argument.
Wow just directly parroting one corporate airlines solution to the hell that is airline travel? If they'd instead suggested that they fill the plane with knockout gas to put the passengers to sleep, would you be suggesting that here instead?
You can't drink in a museum.
You can't drink at a park.
You can't drink in a lot of public places.
Why's that?
Because people can't act like fucking adults and so this has been banned in public places.
An airplane is a public place. It's a close quarter public place, where when one person fucks up, it fucks it up for the whole plane.
Museums have Night events where they serve beer. There's three of them happening in my city this month at a Art Museum, science Museum, and a Arboretum. Wine is often at gallery showings.
Depending on your state laws, You may be able drink at a public park. Review your States laws. Many forbid open containers.
Review your state laws. Again, it "depends". In New Jersey, you are allowed to drink in public.
Again not true. Millions of people drink responsibility. If your statement was correct, then every single bar would be a haven for violence and destruction. Yet most cities are now allowing CHILDREN into bars and converting them into family friendly establishments.
I'm not Pro-alcohol - it's literally poison for your body to give you a pleasant reaction. But Jesus Christ, if you're going to use blanket statements, do some research. This is the same line of thinking as "DRUGs is BAAAAAAD". Like no?
Beer, wiine, and liquor, even.
Heck, I was at pop up exhibit that had a bar outside, and another that had one at the end of the exhibit.
We don't have seat belt and speeding laws for the good drivers.
Bars and restaurants are public places too. What's the difference? Airline travel is stressful since people are now treated like cattle in a high security area. Banning alcohol sales just means that normal people won't drink at the airport while the people with problems will chug shooters before getting to the airport and be drunk all the same.
They get kicked out when they cause a problem, and don't cost the other 150 other people hundreds of $$$ and days of their time.
Alcohol is not the fucking solution to that, are you kidding me? Now you have have drunk people in a stressful situation.
I had a layover in Midway at maybe 7:30am once. Everyone — and I mean everyone — was drinking. Like, are you going to get the shakes between security and boarding?
Yes?
Do you want mass murder? Because taking away a republican’s right to get drunk and express their anger for not being served first is unconstitutional, and against the principles in which this country was founded. Liberty and justice for me.
Eh... Alcohol doesn't care about party lines
But it does flow downhill.
Tell that to the Conga! CHECKKKMMATEEE!!!
Daba dee, daba di.
What's the point of taking a vacation if I don't get to send my coworkers pictures of my airport mimosa as they're clocking in at 8am?
This guy flies.
Please dont take one of the remaining socially acceptable places to get absolutely blitzed before noon. Football tailgates are only in the fall
please do not cut off your hands and throw them at me in a drunken rage.
DONTCHUTELLMEWHATTODO!
